Dave Jackson is an award-winning podcaster who has been podcasting since 2005.
He is a featured/keynote speaker at events, author of the book "More Podcast Money," and has served as the Director of Podcasting for the New Media Expo.
He also works at Libsyn.com, the largest Podcast Media Hosting Company in the world.
He is best known for founding the School of Podcasting and helping hundreds of podcasters launch successful podcasts.
Mission: Dave focuses on helping people create their own podcasts by focusing on why they should start their podcast and how they should do so.
Mistake: He wishes he hadn't put as much effort on his early website without researching to see if anyone else was doing something similar at the time, thus realizing too late that others were doing similar and doing it better. He also wishes he hadn't bought a very good radio microphone without learning at first how it picks up every tiny sound, and thus never uses it.

Sarah Anne Stewart was thrown into the world of wellness as a teenager when her father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Her family made a choice – to fight back with alternative medicine. Seven months later, her father was declared cancer-free, and a spark was lit in Sarah that propelled her to dedicate her life to spreading the healings her family had discovered. Today, Sarah runs one of New York City and LA’s leading private coaching practices, as a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (AADP), with a primary focus on nutrition and permanent weight loss. Her heart-centered approach has allowed hundreds to reach their health goals naturally, without ‘crash’ dieting. Sarah is also the founder of the Holistically Slim Movement, an in-demand public speaker, and author of the e-course, “Meditate Slim”.
Mission: Sarah works with women to help them reprogram their subconscious patterns around food and their bodies so they may be able to lose weight easier. She hopes to help them see what is holding them back from losing weight, stopping them from conquering their eating disorder, or making them uncomfortable with going out so they can get through it.
Mistake: She wishes she had not attended business school to become an entrepreneur, since the courses didn’t seem to align with what she needed to go down that path. She also wishes she did not hide behind her story for so long.
